Wet Weather Riding Wear

 When it comes to horse riding in the rain, us equestrians tend to have vastly different opinions. Some don’t mind getting a little wet, whereas others would rather muck out every stable than ride in the rain! Regardless of which side of the fence you’re on, it rains a fair bit in the UK and, what’s more, it rains a lot more in some parts than others.

So when it does, you don’t want to be caught unprepared. If you’re unsure where to start shopping, don’t stress. We’ve put together a guide of some our favourite waterproof picks from some of our favourite brands. So, the next time showers are forecast, you’ll be well prepared and ready to ride, whatever the weather.

Legwear

Stay warm and dry in a classic pair of water resistant breeches. Fleece lined and water repellent, the HyPerformance Thermal Softshell Silicone Knee Patch breeches are ideal for outdoor wear on cold winter days and nights, whilst the silicone knee patches provide good grip whilst in the saddle.

Rather than buy water resistant breeches, you can simply add a waterproof layer to your existing breeches. The Equetech Waterproof Riding Chaps are easy to slip on over your legwear.
